The contemporary conversations that shape our lives
Emerging focuses on the skills necessary for academic writing in any discipline—and offers concrete strategies for improving those skills. Author Barclay Barrios uses an inquiry-based approach to help students understand and write about a variety of texts, while innovative assignment sequences explore the important but unsettled issues that shape our lives, such as How is technology changing us?, How do we address systemic racism?, How can you make a difference in the world?, and a central question of our time, How can we get along? Thought-provoking, contemporary readings help students address those questions in meaningful ways. Fourteen new readings and updated writing assignments keep Emerging in tune with current ideas that will challenge students to think beyond their own experiences—and beyond the classroom.

Features
Vivid, approachable readings explore complex, interdisciplinary ideas. Written for a general audience, the readings allow students to engage with ideas without stumbling on exclusionary language. The essays range from brief (2-3 pages) to longer (12-15 pages) than those typically found in composition readers to provide students access to the ideas that shape our world. These diverse selections—arranged alphabetically for maximum flexibility—represent cross-disciplinary work, putting students into conversations with public intellectuals including Ta-Nehisi Coates, Roxane Gay, and Sherry Turkle.
A focus on connections among readings. Emerging helps students see how ideas connect to one another, in sometimes surprising ways, through topical tags and creative assignments, making it flexible for instructors and fruitful for students.
Innovative apparatus helps students develop the critical reading and writing skills needed to bridge public and academic issues. Part One presents key skills of academic success: reading critically, synthesizing, arguing, using evidence, and revising. Several types of questions follow each selection in Part Two, including unique assignments as analytical tools to aid in critical understanding. In Part Three, eight assignment sequences offer a variety of projects that help students work critically with multiple readings, connecting and distinguishing key ideas.
New to This Edition
Compelling new readings bring to life cutting-edge topics, including:
- Screenwriter Hari Ziyad interrogates the intersection of their gender identity and race.
- Marine biologist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson breaks down the need for climate action into the simplest morality.
- Journalist Gavin Haynes examines the intra-community conflicts and moral one-upmanship of purity spirals.
New rhetorical assignments throughout the book offer instructors new options to encourage students to consider the contexts of reading selections and new entryways for diverse pedagogical approaches, while also providing students new tools to understand both the ideas of the readings and the ways in which writers shape language to particular ends.
Four new or substantially revised assignment sequences provide a convenient way to structure selected readings into a coherent course. They ask challenging questions to spark students’ interest and to guide them on a substantive academic project, such as:
- How Do We Address Systemic Racism?
- How Does Gender Shape Us, and How Do We Shape Gender?
- How Can We Be Good Stewards of the Climate and the Environment?
- What Does It Mean to Be Mentally Healthy in a Complex World?
“The range of topics and connections among essays is very appealing for socially minded and social-justice-oriented students.”
–Ruth Knezevich, Hamline University“Emerging helps cultivate precisely the kind of careful, critical reading so many faculty complain students cannot do these days.”
–Michael J. Cripps, University of New England“Emerging continues to be a trusted resource I can turn to for relevant, accessible readings, smart frameworks and creative assignment ideas.”
–Wendy W. Hinshaw, Florida Atlantic University
